The Mocking-Bird.

All along the charming gulf coast
from Mobile to Bay St Louis, or, in
the other direction, to st. Marks and
Tallahassee, there is not cot, no
matter how lonely or lowly, provided
it has fig tree, that there is not
pair of mocking birds to do it honor.
The scuppernong vineyards, too, are
the concert-halls of this famous singer.
Near the home of Mr.. Jefferson Davis,
and, believe, upon the estate of the
ex-confederate chieftain, | sat in the
shade of water oak and heard a
mocking-bird sing, over thrifty vine
yard, the rare dropping song of which
naturalists appear to have taken no
notice. 1t was a balmy day in March,
the sky, the gulf, the air ali hazy and
shimmering, the whole world swim
ming in purplish mist of dreams,
and felt that the song was the ex-
preston of some such sweet. passion
ate, longing as. exhales from Keats

and the verb tones of the birds voice
accorded with the feeling in which the
day was STEPPED. Genuine bird song
is simply the highest form of avian
vocalization, by which instinctively, if
not premeditatively, the bird finds ex-
preston of pleasure. The absence OF
true rhythm probably is significant of
want of power to appreciate genuine
music, the birds comprehension com
passing no more than the value of
sweet sounds merely as SUCH Scrit-
rser's MaQdzine.

Making Scented Extracts.

Pomades are the commercial vehicle
for absorbing and transporting the
perfumes of the jonquil, tuberose, and
a few other species of flowers. A
square frame, or chassis, of white wood,
and about twenty inches by thirty
inches in size, Is set with pane of
strong plate-glass. On each side OF
the glass is spread thin, even layer of
grease, which has been purified and re-
fined. Thus prepared, the frames are
piled up in ranks six or seven feet
high, to await the season of each
arrive the petals are picked from the
stem-the pistils and stamens being
discarded-and laid so as to cover the
grease in each frame. These being
again piled so as to rest upon their
wooden edges, which fit closely to-
gether, there is formed series of tight
chambers, the floors and ceilings of
which are of grease, exposed to the
perfume of the flower leaves within.
The grease absorbs the perfume, the
spent flowers are removed daily, and
fresh ones supplied, and this process
goes on from two to four or five
months, according to the desired
strength of the pomade. which, when
sufficiently charged with perfume, is
taken from the glass with wide thin
spatula, and packed in tin cans for ex-
port. By these methods the delicate
odors of flowers are extracted and re-
tanned fer transport to distant markets,
where, being treated with alcohol, they
yield their perfume to that stronger
vehicle, and produce the floral waters
and extracts of commerce. Coarser
pomades are made by boiling the flowers
in the grease and subjecting the residue
to pressure. The spent pomades are
used for toilet purposes and in the
manufacture of fine soaps. The
process of preparing perfumed
oils involves the same principle, except
that instead of solid grease, superfine
olive oil is used. With this oil pieces
of coarse cotton fabric are saturated,
which are then spread upon wire net
/ ting stretched in wooden frames about
three feet by four feet in size. The
flowers are spread upon the saturated
cloths, and the frames piled one above
the other, so that the perfume of the
flowers is absorbed as in the previous
process. Essences and ..fiower waters"
are produced by ordinary distillation,
in which the flowers are boiled with
water in large alembics. The yapor
carries off the perfume, and is con-
densed in adjoining copper tanks, like
ordinary spirits. Some of the retorts
used for this purpose are of sufficient
size to receive at once half ton of
fresh flowers with the requisite water
for their distillation. When '.fiower
waters" are to be produced alcohol is
used in the distilling tank to receive
the perfumes BY skillful combina-
tions of the perfumes of different flow
ers, sometimes with the addition of
chemicals. large variety of handker-
chief extracts, such as '.Patchouli.

projecting two or three inches on the side
opposite the hog yard. Get board, or
two boards fastened together by cleats,

wood. twenty inches long by two thick
and three wide. Make these round, and
two inches in diameter, for about one
third their length. Nail on both these
firmly to the wide board at each end near
one side, letting the rounded parts pro-
ject. Bore a two inch hole through each
post, twenty inches from the ground, to
receive the rounded pieces mentioned, and
which act as hinges for the board to swing
on. When this board hangs down, the
lower part of il is in the trough. In the
middle and upper part Of the wide board
bore a half inch hole. Bore similar
hole twenty inches from one end of mar
row board or pole five feet long. Fasten
this TO the wide board by putting bolt
through the two holes mentioned, so tho
board or lever can turn to one side by
using the bolt as pivot. When pouring
swill into the trough, turn the upper end
of the lever to one side % little and then
pull it back from the fence, which swings
the. wide board forward. Turn the lever
back at right angles to the wide board,
and the lower end catches on the upper
front edge of the trough. This prevents
the pigs from getting into tho trough un-
til the feed is ready for them.

Bones contain about half their weight
OF phosphate of lime; the other half con-
sists chiefly of organic matter. The phos-
phate of lime in bones is what Is called in
soluble phosphate-that is to say, COM
bination of phosphoric acid with as much
lime as it can unite with. One-third or
two-thrds of the lime can, however, be
taken away and still leave definite COM
pounds. When two-thirds OF the limo
has been taken away the compound
formed is soluble in water, and is called
soluble phosphate of lime. In dissolylng
bones it is found that If enough OF acids Is
added TO convert all the phosphates In the
soluble form the whole is converted into
LIQUID mass, which refuses to dry up
and is unfit as manure This is owing TO
the organic matter in the bones. There
is, therefore, a practical limit set to the
proportion of soluble phosphate which
dissolved bones can contain. AS rule,
in the case of pure dissolved bones not
more than half the phosphate is present IN
the soluble FORM According to DIR. AIT
kin, high English authority, pure dis
solved bone cannot contain much moro
than 20 per cent. soluble phosphate ana

He claims that 1.-THE dissolving of bones in
sulphurous acid is wasteful process, not
to be recommended, for by 80 doing the
bones are degraded to the level of mineral
phosphates, which supply soluble phos-
pilates more cheaply and more efficiently
than bones. If soluble phosphate Is
wanted for crop, then the cheapest form
of superphosphate is the best thing to ap-
ply. II bones are wanted for the crop or
the land then the natural bone, nneiy
ground, is the cheapest form OF appica-
ton. II both are wanted both should 90

a fAlh OF WHITE W1ANDOTIES.
While its origin is obscure it is supposed
to have been a cross of the Silver Span
gled Hamburg and Dark Brahmas with
probably some blood from TIE Cochin
family. 1t shows its composite origin by
prominent characteristics and sport. Tho
plumage is very attractive, being white,
heavily laced with black, especially over
the breast, the tail alone being solid
black. The standard weights given for
Wyandottes are 1-2 pounds for the ma
ture cock and 1-2 pounds for the hen.
The Wyandottes have proven them
selves worthy of the early claims mado
for them and stand today among the best
Of all purpose fowls for the farmer,
though they do not appear to have inter-
fered with the popularity of the Brahmas
and Plymouth Rocks. AS table fowls
the Wyandottes are excellent, their flesh
being juicy, tender and delicate. AS
spring chickens they have proven a first
rate breed, for they feather early and ma
ture rapidly. The hens are prolific lay
ers, being exceeded only by the Leghorns,
but the eggs produced are small In size
a decided drawback when these are des-
tined for market.
The original Wyandottes afforded a
tempting field to the fancier which has
not been neglected, as the white Wyan-
dottes with their small rose combs testify.

The People OF China.

The population of China is known to
have been greatly overestimated by the
Chinese themselves in the earlier days
of European intercourse A recent
Chinese official report places the num-
ber of inhabitants at 382. .000, 900. This
agrees quite closely with the estimates
of European statisticians- In 1872 the
population of China was supposed to
be about 413. .0OO, 900, but whether
there has been any such decrease as
these figures indicate cannot be known,
though it seems to be much more
probable that the 1912 census returns
were exaggerated. The area Of China
proper is less than half that of the
United States and Territories exclu-
sive of Alaska. and yet it contains six
times the number of inhabitants, II
